About the Game

'Strandburg' (sandcastle) was produced in Austria in 1979. It is part of the first wave of cooperative games that hit europe(an kids) in the late seventies and arguably among the most intense experiences, because it features real experiences most kids have.

The goal of the game is to finish a sandcastle before it is destroyed by the rising tide. As with most of these games directed at players around the age of 5, decisions do not change the outcome of the game too much, it comes down to the luck of the dice. Depending on the colours you roll on the 2 dice, you either add waves, parts of the sandcastle or help other players out. The feeling of being 'in this together' is very present.

Distribution in the Benelux was done by Jumbo, the game appeared there under the same name.
